Hi All,

I purchased an old Evinrude 6hp fisherman and do not know the year. I think the serial number is 6502ME020401.

- I was wondering if anyone could tell me what year it is.

- Also, it will only start when I spray ether into it and then it will die. Any suggestions?

- and finally, do you know where I can get a manual so I can do my own work on it. I don't have experience on outboards but I do a little work on my truck with the help of an engine manual.

I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Re: Evinrude 6hp fisherman QUESTIONS!!

The model nmber is 6502. It is a 1965 6hp Evinrude.

Do not use ether as it has no lubricating qualities. Use a gas/oil premix in a spray can instead.

The carburetor is fouled. Remove, dismantle, clean, and rebuild it.

You should be able to obtain a manual at this website.
